Depression Website and Support

This website is excellent for anyone who is suffering from depression. It helped me immensely when I left the borg - in fact, it saved my life. It has many interesting links from:

- telling if you are depressed (depression test)

- what to do if you are feeling depressed

- what to do if you have been diagnosed with depression

- support for friends and family of depressed friends / spouses (message board)

- links to other message boards of those who suffer from depression and need some support (EXCELLENT SUPPORT IS OUT THERE!)

I belong to one of the message boards there, but also belong to another one geared more for the younger crowd. If you want the link, just reply to this message and I'll send it to you via private message (I don't think that the moderator wants it advertised everywhere)

Can I just say, regardless of it being a site with good intent, reading through the traits of depression actually made me feel really depressed. Partly becuase they are worded "You feel like this and that" in effect telling you how you feel. Lists of statements like this do affect the impressionable.

True, Ballistic.

The site is only for those who think or who are diagnosed with depression. If you don't think that you don't have depression, then any normal person would be bored with the posts - plus, they could not understand it.

I suffered with depression since I was 8. Now I am 32, and was a big reason for me becoming brainwashed into the borg. (Although nobody ever knew of my medical condition, and I was highly secrative of it.) It makes people scared to admit that they suffer from the disease and get help - suicide is the number 2 killer of young people today.
